adding manual pages

[Nostradamus]

I've installed the precompiled samba package on a sco openserver 5.0.5 system.
the manual pages are installed under /usr/local/samba/man/...
However I can't read them using 'man xxxxx'. Do I have to include them in some sort of PATH before or do I have to "add them to the manual" before I can use them?

The environment variable is

 MANPATH

Take a look at

 man man

I've looked at that but never figured it out.
the layout of /usr/man and /usr/lib/scohelp doesn't look like the man directory in /usr/local/samba/man/... I don't think the manpath helps. I don't know how anyway.

I always use nroff -man xxxx | more to read the man pages under linux. Can I use something similar with SCO?

Try this:

MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/local/samba/man man nmblookup

You may have to install the gnu groff utility form your SkunkWare CD.
